EDUCATING THE GIFTED CHILD By Frederic Haskin [Continued From Kditorial Page.] of swimming and other out-door sports. If she had not been permitted to attend this private school she would have lost two full years at the most important period of her life be cause the public school of her city made no provision for her exceptional mentality. Many Sucli Cases Found In every city such eases are found and educators are at last recognizing the economic waste of retarding the gifted child to make him fit into a course of study designed for the or dinary child. Much time and money have been spent upon the develop ment of the backward child. Special teachers have been provided in the attempt to bring him up to normal standards. The supernormal, or gifted child, who has long been recog nized in Germany and other European countries as a nation's most valuable asset, has been neglected in this coun try, and his special talents wastrel and ignored. For several years consideration has FRIDAY EVENING, been given to this matter, and this Fall in most large cities special classes will be opened for the supernormal child in which he will be under the direction of special teachers who will aid rather than retard his advance ment. This woi-k will be experi mental at first and cannot be expected to meet all the needs, although it is the beginning of an educational re form. Psychologists divide school children into three classes: supernormal, bright or gifted; normal or average; and backward, subnormal or defi cient. All courses of study were planned .«,r the normal child who nat urally represents the greatest number. Santa Barbara, Cal., has recently em ployed the Blnet test to gauge the school children of that city. Accord ing to that, 22 per cent, of stfiool children were supernormal, 4 4 per cent, normal and 34 per cent, subnor mal In varying degrees. This proves that the present system of inflexible grading is just only to 4 4 per cent, of the school children. The old country school gave far greater advantages to the gifted child than the best equipped city institu tion. The boy who learned the multi plication table by hearing other chil dren recite it, was not kept back un til the most stupid student in the class had mastered it. He was allowed to forge ahead for himself and if he "fig ured clear through the rithmetlc" that term he was encouraged by his teacher. It frequently happens that a country boy transferred to the city school will be several grades ahead for his age, because of the individual liberty he has been allowed. Divided Into Two Classes The supernorrftal children are di vided into two classes: The first class shows exceptional brightness upon all subjects. The other may be only normal us regards most subjects, but will exhibit one or two special gifts or talents. The education of one of these classes differs materially from that of the other. The special talent may be in a single direction and need broadening to render it of greatest practical value. The child with a special gift, such as music or art, should not have that gift so highly developed at the expense of his other [Have You Seen Schleisner's Windows?! HARRISBUR TEIJBGRAPB faculties that he requires a commis sion to feed and care for him when he has arrived at maturity. Psy chologists claim that the impractical tendencies of genius are entirely due to lack of general education. The well-rounded education, which de velops the intellect as a whole, will not detract from the special gift. It is more likely to strengthen it because all the faculties are made stronger. A number of other gifted children are now In the limelight as examples of the possibilities of judicious educa tion. Herbert ' Weiner, who recently received the degree of Doctor of Phil osophy at eighteen, graduated from Tufts College at the age of fourteen. Three younger Weiner children, now being educated after the same meth ods, are expected to distinguish them selves equally. William James Sldls, who entered Harvard University at eleven and a year later delivered a lecture upon the Fourth Dimension, the most abstruse problem in mathe matics, is the son of Dr. Boris Sidls, a specialist in mental and nervous diseases. Dr. Sldls takes the stand that disease and nervousness result from worry, emotional excitement and lack of interest in the work at hand rather than from undue study. "We do not teach children any thing in Infancy for fear of over-de veloping their brain," said Dr. Sldls In a recent address, "when in reality the brain, like the body, gains strength and health from use. After the child's natural Interest has been dulled and his brain rendered less active than nature intended, because it was not used in the beginning, we put him in school and confront him with a heterogenous collection of facts which do not interest him. We force him to study. We cram him and feed him and stuff him like a goose. We ex SEPTEMBER 24, 1915. pect him to pass his examinations and blame him if he fails. This produces the worry which injures the health. It might be avoided by well regulated study at an earlier age." LUXURIOUS BIG GYPSY VAN OX CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR What is probably the most elaborate prairie schooner that ever started on a transcontinental trip In this coun try recently left Long Island bound for San Francisco with a party of nine persons. It is a large, double-decked, richly appointed motor bus which was built especially for this tour by a New York financier. The Interior of the car Is 21 feet In length, 7V6 feet wide and 6% feet high. The space is divided Into three compartments. The first of these Is occupied by two chauffeurs and Is a roomy vestibule which almost in a moment's time may be converted Into a very comfortable bedchamber. Back "of this is the main room, some 10 feet in length. The arrangement of this is much like that of a Pullman car. Dur ing the daytime it is used as a living room, while at night, with its six berths made up, it offers nearly the same conveniences as are afforded on a well-quipped overland express. There are electric lights, hot and cold run ning water, shower baths and othee similar accommodations. The room Is fitted with upholstered furniture, has a library and writing desk, boasts a talk ing machine, and Is shaded by broad awnings. Back of this compartment in an electric kitchen, in which is built a compact refrigerator. Several views of this unusual machine are published ir. the October Popular Mechanics Magazine. 3
